Steps:

Brown the veal for 2 minutes on each side, remove from pan to a plate. Add another tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil to the pan, then the garlic and sweet peppers.

Spoon juices and peppers evenly over the chops and garnish with parsley.

Steps:

• Veal Chops: Combine oil, rosemary, garlic and zest in a large shallow baking dish. Add the veal chops and turn to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator at least 4 hours or up to 8 hours. Preheat grill. Remove chops from marinade and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Remove from the grill and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Place in a bowl with the tomatoes, thyme. Drizzle in the vinegar and oil, mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Drain the artichokes and add, cut side down in a single layer in the pan. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat and cover the pan. Cook until barely tender, about 12 minutes. Remove the artichokes from the pan, season with salt and pepper and grill for 4 to 5 minutes until lightly golden brown on both sides.
